The Lamp Post at the Edge of Winter

Well we're getting on in December, creeping towards that ever present day of Festive Cheer that rests on the 25th of this Month. Some of the lads, not all, have decided to get in the Holiday spirit already with their picks, let's take a look...

Rob-Nosed Reindeer

Jimmy Eat World - "Christmas Card"

Mr. T

Mickey Avalon - "My Dick"

Grinch-Man

Bruce Cockburn - "Mary Had A Baby"

This song is about to get stuck in your head until the end of December. Sorry, not sorry

Doug-nog

Frank Sinatra - "Adeste Fideles"

Dano

Johnny Hiland - "Barnyard Breakdown"

Jolly HP

Dropkick Murphys - "The Season's Upon Us"

Fear - "Fuck Christmas"

Mike D The Snowman

Goo Goo Dolls - "You Ain't Getting Nothin'"

John Lennon - "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)"

Forty years this week since, debatably the most iconic member of The Beatles (a generation?) was gunned down while outside his NYC apartment building. RIP.

Chris Cornell Tribute: Song Of The Day May 18, 2017

Whether you were a fan of his music or any of his bands there is no denying that Chris Cornell permeated your life at one point or another. "Black Hole Sun" has been played at least once a day on rock radio since it was released back in 1994. He's had an extensive solo career and been a part of other bands like Audioslave and Temple Of The Dog. The news of his suicide yesterday has saddened and baffled music lovers worldwide. We here at Song Of The Day Fridays are no exception. There was no rule to pick a Chris Cornell song this week, so we'll see if any or all us did. RIP Chris Cornell.

Rob

Audioslave - "Cochise"

Jimmy Eat World - "23"

Mr. T

Dan Farber - "Smoke That"

G-Man

Chris Cornell - "You Know My Name"

Wasn't the biggest Soundgarden fan, but knew Cornell was very talented. This is my absolute favourite song he ever did. He had a great voice and an obvious love of music and performing. I he found whatever peace he felt was missing in his life. The theme song for Casino Royale back in 2005. The best Bond theme song.

Rise Against - "Satellite"

If the lead singer of Rise Against passes away I doubt the rock world will be as shook as it was today, which is a shame. The last 15 or so years Rise Against has released consistent and important hard rock music. Started as a fringe punk band and now can sell out stadiums. This is a newer song by them that I can't get out of my head.
